Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

"Rum has more important tasks and can't get away for the time being."

The boss's tone softened slightly.

"There's a red Toyota in the parking lot at Los Angeles Airport. The license plate number is California 7G3219. There's detailed information inside the car. Remember, don't let me down."

"clear."

Vermouth hung up the phone, but her eyes remained fixed on the large screen.

Only after Lin Xiuyi's speech ended and the camera switched to other content did she turn around, walk out of the phone booth, and quickly head towards the parking lot.

The red Toyota was parked in the corner of the parking lot, and the doors were indeed unlocked.

Vermodra opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. He rummaged around in the glove compartment and quickly found a thick brown paper bag.

Opening the paper bag, inside, besides Terence Stairyn's detailed information, including his address, commute route, and family member information, there was also a stack of information about an elderly couple.

"The Brians... the researcher's parents, and a younger sister, have been eliminated..."

Vermouth looked at the photo in the file, her eyes behind her sunglasses showing no pity, only the cold indifference of carrying out a mission.

She carefully reviewed the documents, memorized them, started the car, and the red Toyota merged into the traffic, heading towards Brian's house.

……

Meanwhile, after exchanging pleasantries, the principal and others left the auditorium, while Miss Grey began to organize everyone to continue their tour of the campus.

However, just as Lin Xiuyi had worried, their Japanese nationality had been completely exposed after the speech, and trouble followed.

Previously, when everyone was visiting the library along the tree-lined paths of the campus, the surrounding students only cast curious glances at them.

But now, as they walked into the teaching building area, the situation gradually changed.

Many students stopped and pointed at them, speaking in broken English with obvious hostility.

Miss Grey noticed this as well. She frowned and whispered to Yui Murakami, "Let's visit the lab first. There are fewer students there during summer vacation, so we should be able to avoid these troubles."

Yui Murakami also sensed that something was wrong, so she quickly nodded and told the students to quicken their pace.

But some troubles are simply unavoidable.

Just as the group was about to reach the laboratory building, five tall white male students walked over from the basketball court next door, followed by a number of students who were cheering them on.

The boy in the lead had a buzz cut, was muscular, and wore a basketball jersey with the school team's logo. He glanced at the students of Teitan Junior High School with a disdainful expression.

"I heard that one of you subdued a terrorist on the plane?"

The short-haired guy crossed his arms, his tone sarcastic.

"You're all as skinny as monkeys, you could be blown over by the wind. How could you possibly be a match for terrorists? You're probably just making this up to grab attention!"

His voice was loud, clearly intentionally meant for everyone around him to hear.

Eri Kisaki never expected that Hideaki Hayashi's guess would actually come true.

Her cheeks flushed with anger, and she was about to step forward to retort, but Murakami Yui grabbed her arm.

The female teacher gently shook her head, signaling her not to act impulsively, lest she escalate the situation.

Miss Grey stepped forward, blocking the Teitan students' path: "They are guests invited by the school, and your behavior is extremely rude. Please move aside immediately and do not delay our tour."

Her voice was stern, attempting to intimidate these troublemakers with her authority as a teacher. "Hmph, this is an American university; we can do whatever we want!"

The boy with the buzz cut held his head high, looking arrogant.
"We have the right to stop the Japanese from entering our campus!"

His companions burst into laughter, clearly enjoying the standoff.

"They were legally invited guests!"

Miss Grey tried to remain calm and emphasized Lin Xiuyi and the others' identities again.
"Don't embarrass Americans in front of foreign guests, get out of the way."

"You can move aside if you want."

The boy with the buzz cut grinned, his gaze fixed on Lin Xiuyi.

"Since this Japanese kid was able to subdue terrorists on the plane, he must be a really good fighter, right? I've heard that all Japanese people know kung fu. How about we have a little exchange and see if our American boxing is better, or your Japanese kung fu is better!"

The surrounding students immediately started to jeer, shouting "Let's have a fight!" and "Let them see what they're made of!"

Miss Grey frowned, about to speak to stop him, but Lin Xiuyi had already stepped out of the line, looking coldly at the short-haired boy.

"Kung Fu is Chinese, not Japanese, you idiot!"

Although Lin Xiuyi's English wasn't fluent, every word was clear.
"You don't even know the most basic common sense. How did you even get into the University of California? Did you get in through athletic admission and fail your academic subjects?"

This statement hit the sore spot for the guy with the buzz cut.

He was indeed specially recruited because of his basketball skills, but his academic performance was terrible. He was most sensitive to people saying that he was "simple-minded but physically strong".

The buzz-cut boy's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists, ready to charge forward: "Fuck! How dare you curse at me? I'll make you pay today..."

Lin Xiuyi was also prepared to fight back.

Just as the two were about to fight, a series of sharp gunshots suddenly rang out from the direction of the auditorium.

"Bang bang bang!"

Everyone was stunned. Lin Xiuyi looked in the direction of the sound with surprise and doubt. The students of Teitan Middle School also looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

On the contrary, the California students who were just cheering suddenly turned pale and fled in panic.

The boy with the buzz cut, no longer caring about causing trouble for Lin Xiuyi, covered his head and ran towards the nearby teaching building, shouting, "Shooting! There's shooting!"

"What's going on?" Murakami Yui looked around in surprise at the crowd that had suddenly turned into chaos.

"What are you all standing there for? Come with me!"

Miss Grey was quite responsible. Seeing that these Asian students and teachers were staring blankly at the direction from which the gunshots came, she quickly tugged at Murakami Yui and then called out loudly,

"Quickly, come with me to the teaching building. There might have been a shooting over the auditorium. Let's take refuge in the teaching building!"

The school alarm finally sounded belatedly, its sharp sound echoing through the air.

The students ran in panic, some even crying out.

The once peaceful campus instantly turned into a sea of ​​panic.

Lin Xiuyi grabbed Fei Yingli's hand, making her stay close to him, but he felt a little amused and exasperated.

I didn't expect to experience the unique characteristics of America so quickly!
As expected of the free America, shootings happen every day! (End of Chapter)
